He would tour the country giving his Sermons of Science where the marvels of science provide the visible evidence of a Divine plan of creation. His work with GIs during World War II showed him the...favoritefavoritefavoritefavorite ( 12 reviews ) Topic: religion vs. science

Sergei Eisenstein shot ¡Que viva México! in Mexico in 1931 at the height of the Great Depression.

They had great difficulties in keeping the production going; the economic crisis forced Sinclair to call a halt to it in early 1932. Shooting was stopped with most of the work completed; only one episode could not be filmed. At the same time Josef Stalin insisted on...favoritefavoritefavoritefavoritefavorite ( 9 reviews ) Topic: Mosfilm, Eisenstien, Film, Classic
